Banana Caramel Cream Delight: A Smooth and Sweet Classic

—

### **Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Cream Layer:**
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will create a light, fluffy cream layer.

2. **Assemble the Layers:**
In a serving dish (a glass trifle dish works great for this!), spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture at the bottom. Then, add a layer of sliced bananas on top. Drizzle a little bit of caramel sauce over the bananas.

3. **Add the Crunch:**
Sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies over the caramel. This adds a delightful crunch and texture to the dessert.

4. **Repeat Layers:**
Repeat the process: another layer of whipped cream, followed by bananas, caramel, and more crushed cookies. Continue until you’ve built up a few beautiful layers.

5. **Chill and Serve:**
Once you’ve assembled all the layers, refrigerate the dessert for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, drizzle extra caramel over the top and garnish with a few fresh banana slices for an extra touch of elegance.
